Here with two things:

  1. Explanation of why I haven’t posted in a while
  2. A promise to myself and whoever reads this blog that I shall be as concise and as clear in my writing as possible

Explanation Hiatus - Got the PhD!

Not all blog posts are created equal. Some, like this one, are just me writing and explaining.

In this case, I’m just here to explain that I’ve been busy preparing for my PhD defence which occurred the 16th of December 2024, and which went well above my expectations.

I am now a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, DPhil; Latin: philosophiae doctor or doctor in philosophia) [^phd]: wiki.

The space between the Ph.D. defence and now has been spent taking some well-deserved time off and being with family. Got to have that sweet sweet meaningful family time once in a while. Especially after getting a PhD.

A promise

So, yeah. Other than all the R code, Quarto, and testing, hypotheses and so on, I will also practice the following on my blog:

  • Being as clear, concise, and precise in my writing as possible
  • Writing with a clear purpose, which certainly may develop for each post

This blog is a work in progress, and I may not be successful in the two above endeavors.

Until next time, everyone!
